New netbook from Acer

David Allen — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 04:20:54 +0000

Acer have produced many ten inch netbooks over the past couple of years and every time there are subtle changes in looks and performance, so when the company announce that they are launching the Acer Aspire One D257 we expect to hear about the specs, but Acer are keeping the specs close to the chest on this occasion. So we will have to go with what we know, so far the D257 appears to be thinner and lighter than any netbook in the current Acer range. It has a new style start button and will dual boot Windows 7 Starter Edition and Google’s Android operating system, although this is not a new feature. There is a video on YouTube that gives a quick walk around. Acer claim that the battery will allow up to eight hours of use on a single charge, it will come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, will have around three USB, VGA and Ethernet ports. The D257 will also come with a choice of colour, these are; aquamarine, dark chocolate, or seashell white. As for the full details, we await on Acer to release them in due course.

Acer not phasing out Netbooks

David Allen — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:00:19 +0000

For a moment the competition were feeling a bit of relief when report were going around that Acer were going to be phasing out all of their netbooks in favour of tablets. However, the company have issued a statement that completely denies that they are thinking about this action. In fact it seems that Acer will not be even be launching any new tablets with the latest Sandy Bridge platform from Intel, so it seems that for now at least netbooks will definitely be on the Acer Menu! “Acer recognises that the computer market is changing: As PCs are no longer used to only create content but are more and more becoming consumption tools, new devices and new form factors are appearing,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “This means the range of devices available to users is getting wider and tablets are just another piece of the mosaic. Therefore they will find their space next to netbooks and notebooks, without taking over.” Source [Eee PC] a acer, Acer Aspire Netbooks, netbooks, New Netbooks, Tablets

Acer Gives Laptops Vision

David Allen — Thu, 13 May 2010 11:00:40 +0000

The introduction of new parts into a brand is always an exciting thing, especially when it is going to involve the AMD Vision component. These will be fitted into the next generation of Acer laptops due to be launched in July. The Acer laptops are supposed to be the next level of HD video and this is where the AMD Vision chip comes into its own, although there will be the Vision Basic model, which will come without HD video capabilities. It may be early days at the moment, but it still appears that there could be compatibility issues between what Acer want and what the AMD Vision gear can offer, like the fact that Acer like to use Nvidia, while AMD Vision is optimised for use with MSI ATI Radeon, it is bound to work out in the end.
